Ingredients

40g butter
2 leeks, sliced
1 tsp thyme, chopped
1 lemon, zested
80g Community Co shredded tasty cheese
80g Community Co grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp sour cream
1½ tsp dijon mustard
1 egg
Leftover ham slices or leftover chicken
2 sheets of puff pastry
1 egg yolk + ½ tsp milk or water for egg wash
*Serving size calculator is approximate, feel free to adjust by adding a pinch here and there as needed

Method

  1. In a frying pan over low heat cook the leeks with the butter for 8-10 minutes until soft. Remove from heat, season to taste and let it cool.
  2. Add the thyme, lemon zest, cheeses, sour cream, mustard and egg to the cooled leeks. Season to taste.
  3. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  4. Lay one sheet of puff pastry on a line baking tray. Spread the leek mixture on the pastry leaving a 2cm border. Layer slices of ham or chicken on top and spread the rest of the filling over it.
  5. Brush the border with egg wash.
  6. Score the second sheet of puff and place on top of the other pastry. Fold and crimp the edges to seal. Brush the top with the remaining egg wash and make a cross at the centre for the steam to escape.
  7. Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes or until golden.
